I use the Braun Silk Epil 3 which cost me something like $40. I think it is a good place to start. Some of the more expensive models are battery powered and boast all sorts of features like being water proof for the shower. Epilating is quite painful at first as your hair follicles weaken, so I'd hesitate recommending something expensive start off with. If you like the results of the cheap one, but find it lacking in some way then maybe think about upcgrading.
